Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, National Heritage and Culture Attaullah Tarar has said that a convicted person in prison cannot digest and acknowledge the multiple achievements of incumbent government on diplomatic front and initiatives taken for the development and progress of the country.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said, “Definitely, there is a sinister plan to compare the current situation with that of 1971 but these tactics are doomed to fail; InshaAllah, Pakistan will remain on the map of the world and make march towards progress and prosperity.”
Attaullah Tarar said that during the tenure of the present elected government, by the grace of Allah Almighty, Pakistan had achieved many milestones on the diplomatic front.
“The Prime Minister had a telephonic conversation with the Prime Ministers of Norway and Ireland in the backdrop of their strong stance on Middle East situation”, he remarked.
The minister said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had telephonically contacted the prime ministers of Norway and Ireland who had condemned the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and Rafah and called for immediate ceasefire. During World Economic Forum meeting in Riyadh, the PM remarked that there could not be peace in the world without peace in Gaza. The information minister said Pakistan was desirous of peace in Palestine and it wanted immediate ceasefire in the area. He said contacts with other countries were imperative and a means to show solidarity with the people of Gaza. Tarar said the Prime Minister had been raising voice for Palestine at every international forum and calling for urgent steps for a lasting solution to the Palestinian issue.
